Big offensive effort KOs the Clippers

The Spurs’ offense was humming at mid-season proficiency in their 115-90 thumping of the Los Angeles Clippers Wednesday night.

The Spurs hit 56.3 percent from the field, taking control during a pivotal 38-17 run in the third quarter.

The big effort wasn’t expected by Manu Ginobili, considering the team’s limited practice time after the lockout.

“I’m kind of surprised,” Ginobili said. “I didn’t think the team was ready to have two games like this and be so solid defensively, making so many shots on offense and moving the ball so well. We’re looking sharp, but I don’t want to get too confident thinking that we’ve got it already because I don’t think it’s true.

“We still have a long way to go. It just happens that we played two very good games.”

It also was tied for second among the most points scored in the league so far this season in one game.
